Dr. Ivor Emanuel
The Worst DoctorDr. Ivor Emanuel is one of the worst doctors I’ve ever worked with. I came in to see Katherine Fast and needed to have my ears cleaned out.
This is typically performed by my general doctor but since i was already in the office, I figured why not.
I was charged HUNDREDS of dollars (out of pocket) for a 15 minute visit to clean out my ear wax.
No one told me the charges before the visit and I never in my wildest nightmare thought any doctor could charge such exorbitant fees for such a simple thing.
After getting the bill I was shocked and called up his billing office.
I spent hours on the phone where I dealt with an extremely rude office manager who thought his fees were perfectly reasonable (they’re not).
My friend had the exact same experience. Dr. Emanual ran multiple tests on her and then never called with the results.
She had to follow up with the office to get her results and at first they refused to give them to her over the phone saying she would need to schedule a visit for a fee.
She also received a ridiculously high bill for a routine visit and was brought to tears by the office manager.
I would highly recommend not going to Dr. Emanuel – it was a terrible experience.
I would highly recommend his practice.
I became ill while in San Francisco for a conference. I saw one doctor who referred me to Dr. Ivor Emanual. His front desk staff were exceptionally welcoming and the combination of his knowledge, professionalism and bedside manner made me want to bring him back to CT with me.
He is highly knowledgeable without being arrogant or standoffish. He is personable and easy to talk to. I felt he cared about me and my situation. Therefore, as much as I wanted to return home, the extended stay in San Francisco due to illness wasn’t so bad under his care.
He hand wrote his diagnosis and every procedure he did for me to pass along to my ENT and offered that I could call him if I needed a second opinion to my ENT’s suggestions. I would highly recommend his practice.
Never Again
